For organisations
As a prevention offer for the entire workforce
Because the course is certified under § 20 SGB V, it can be covered via the corporate health promotion allowance, €600 per employee per year, free of tax and social contributions. No scheduling logistics, no minimum group size, fully anonymous if desired.
To complete the course successfully, all eight units of around 60 minutes each must be worked through in full. The course runs for eight weeks in total: each week a new module unlocks once the previous one is complete. From the time of booking you have six months in total to finish the course. The prevention course is available in German. Each module is accompanied by written exercises, quiz questions and optional further information.
Nina and Markus welcome you in unit 1. Markus then takes you on a journey through the world of science and sleep medicine (units 2, 3 and 4). From units 5 to 8, Nina is at your side. In these four units you receive numerous solutions, methods and techniques that are realistic and suitable for everyday life. Benefit from the decades of experience of both.

Possibly yes. It matters to us that everyone has access to the course, which is why instalment payment is available: you can pay the €149 in smaller monthly amounts. You will find details during booking. We cooperate particularly closely with some health insurers: with these you get direct access to the prevention course without having to submit any evidence.
In principle anyone can purchase access to the prevention course for €149 and take part. Reimbursement of the course fee can generally be claimed if you have German statutory insurance and are over 18. Some private health insurers also offer (partial) reimbursement for prevention courses. Ask your insurer directly whether they support certified ZPP prevention offers.
No. The course is a certified prevention course, not a prescribable application. Depending on your insurer you can be reimbursed up to 80 % or even the full €149 in the best case the course is free for you. We also offer convenient instalment payment, because we believe everyone should have access to this course.
